Creativity Squeezed
Posted by baboysai under Baboysai's Days
Is it probably part of growing up that I've stopped writing? Nah. What an excuse.
My friend said it's because nobody reads it anyway. Uh, no. Because really, I have a very optimistic imagination and pretend that people are always excited of my posts, even if you know, maybe there really are none.
I concluded it was because I had no new material to review as of yet. Since the current media I'm being exposed to are not yet complete to make a confident rating of each. Heh, what an excuse.
Then I realized it was because... of all the excuses to find, schoolwork! But of course, what else could hinder me from happily typing away but schoolwork. See, I have this design problem that's always in my head in the efforts to solve it. Then of course, there are the side subjects that my attention is totally divided.
Really, I'm not going to blabber like: "oh I'm so sorry I haven't been writing anything in a long time T_T" like some LJ (TM) spooks that you have there. You have no idea how bad the LJ community is. It's a breeding place of morons, except for a few people I know (peace! Jed et. al, you know who you are) hehe.
Spinning off the topic now, since I've reminded myself of this LJ craziness, I've actually read some that say: "comment or I won't add you as a friend" kinda sh*t. Or: "I'm so sad today..." is all that you find in the entry expecting people to really worry, and the 219 comments go: "OMG what happened?", "tell tsuka-chan your problem dearie". Can you tell me this isn't ego-stroking? I mean, come on. You write one-liners and expect people to worry.
I got this image from Smartania.com:
Spinning off from the spin-off, you guys should visit Smartania if you're looking for a hard laugh. They do have smart views about the internet and media world.
And so, I go back to my physically and mentally draining world. Pakyu, as what AF people would say.
THE END. Baboysai is tired of life.

I will try not to make a biased account of my... forget it. I am going to be talking about emotions. So trying not to be biased is not going to happen.
I was so happy about our org's 25th anniversary. I cried when the older people talked about AF, and I just felt so overwhelmed by everything. They said it was thanks to the founders and older members that the org has existed, and I thought it was also because of the current members that AF is still alive today.
Mabuhay ang AF. Yeyo, UP Architecture Forum.
On a not-so-significant note, here was angel_of_death, which pissed me to PMSing. I have not visited my blog for a long time, and I find this bitchy (I am not assuming any sex of this coward) comment about me having no life. I will not invite more stupid retorts from this angel_of_death by retorting. Shut up. Because I have more business to attend to. And that's business with my boyfriend.
God, I envoke thee. This is probably the first time I'll be addressing an entry to my boyfriend in a reeeaaaallly pissed-off manner. No euphimisms, no flowery words, just blunt plain logic.
See, of all things I hate, one is denial, two is denying that you were in denial, and three, a really dense sense of reason. I will not be explaining the situation because I am [at fault.]
Notice friends, that the two last words have been written an hour after everything before it. And that in those 60 or so minutes, a lot of things have transpired.
1. That we are both tired.
2. That we are both tired, in the literal sense.
3. That I am so f*cking pissed at angel_of_death whoever this bitch (male or female) is.
4. That I am at fault, yes.
5. That he is at fault, yes.
6. That it does not matter who committed the gravest offense.
7. But what matters is what started it all.
8. That men think women are making a big deal out of small things.
9. But that women actually think it wasn't a small thing in the first place.
10. That I am f*cking annoyed of my life as of the moment.
11. That I want to screw love right now.
12. That I want to be single.
13. That I want to party.
14. That I like to see my girlfriends.
15. That I hate it because I love.
16. That I'd like to get a hold of angel_of_death and smack my life in his/her face, you bitch.
17. That I am tired. period.
THE END. Baboysai is f*cked

Good Looks Can Only Take You So Far
Posted by baboysai under Baboysai's Reviews
JDorama marathon. You guys know Kimura Takuya right? Refer to here.
"Good Luck". This time, he's a pilot. I noticed it must be his goal in life to try different means of survival, a.k.a. jobs. Because he also starred in one where he's a lawyer.
Ahem. So moving on...
I wasn't really "moved" by Good Luck. It was... how shall I put it... bland. It's hard not to compare it with Kimura Takuya's other shows. I mean, compared to Pride, it had less ups and downs, less hugging-the-pillow-can't-stop-screaming kind of effect. Which disappointed me. I was somewhat surprised that some fans even considered this the best of all his shows. I think though, that this was his, not worst, but least replayable. If there is such a word.
And so I give it: 5/10
Even if he is gorgeous. Yum.
THE END. Baboysai is bored

He's hot in Jeans anyway.
Posted by baboysai under Baboysai's Reviews
I think I liked the idea "Get rid of your distractions". It suits me so well. I cannot work where distractions are all around me. In my case these could mean a new chapter of a manga I'm following, a new episode, a new J-drama series, and the like.
I told myself, since I got the whole day off, I might as well finish my design project which is about 10% done, and clean the house a little bit. I can never get started on work if I know I haven't cleaned the house.
You notice the excuses? They're not excuses. They are real occurances that I can't seem to stop from happening. Anyway, getting back to the subject, I needed to get rid of distractions. My approach is not to throw them away or hide them, it's a most unique approach. Yet, for me, it is the only approach I dare do. I finish them first, so I can do my tasks undisturbed by worries. I mean, how could you expect me to study if the latest Ouran High is out? No ideas would enter my brain because the worrying of what would happen to Haruhi would be blocking them. I have to unload all these temptations before I can concentrate on other things.
Which brings me to the whole point of that loooong introduction. Look at this picture and say...
"Kimura Takuya Again???"
But of course.
Didn't I mention earlier he had a show where he was a lawyer? It was recommended by my sister, and she spent the last weekend to marathon it.Hero. Kuryu Kohei is a public prosecutor who moves from a small district office to the middle of Tokyo. He wears jeans to work and didn't finish junior high. But the director seems to know enough about him to respect him so much.
This is very different from all other Kimura Takuya shows I've seen. It's more of a comedy, and can be hardly considered a drama. I find the other characters to be very well portrayed and are all very interesting. The scenes are more anime-ishly done. Eavesdropping, meddling in other people's business, the little annoying issues in an office that are very true to life, but are most often overlooked in making television shows are all here.
If you're looking for entertainment rather than mushy dramas, this might very well suit your taste. If you're looking for some eye-candy, the other actors might not satisfy you on that, but we're talking about Kimura Takuya here. He can do that for you.

A Sad Ending To What Could Have Been
Posted by baboysai under Baboysai's Days
I heard that Naruto will be getting back on track in the 200th episode. I feel excited, sort of.
That's about... 30% at its best. I think it had something to do with Naruto being licensed. Oh I remember those days. When Naruto sharing was hot in the network of anime geeks in the dormitory, then suddenly the news about it being licensed caused a breakdown in the internet. I crawled all over cyberspace to find any downloads to no avail. Guess I didn't look hard enough because fans geekier than me seemed to have found a "secret" site that still hosted episodes. And they didn't want to share the address on the grounds that it would be swarmed with leechers that may impair the site. How selfish could they get?
Anyway, charm never fails me. And I got to download! Finally!That was a brief history, by the way. And now that I think about it, I don't see much how that has to do with my argument at hand. Ah yes, after the licensing issue I thought it would sail smoothly, the animators must have decided to just finish the last arc and go fillers all the way. Which was a lapse of judgement on their part.
Boo. Wrong step, guys. I thought the animation world has learned the lesson from what happened to the Rurouni Kenshin series. Instead of moving on with the story, which is warming its way into climax, they followed it up with fillers to the dismay of the fans. So after being at the top for almost two years, the fans got hold of newer stuff to take interest in. This is the sad fate of a great story disgraced by fillers. This is what fillers do to a story. It loses coherence, focus, and its fanbase.
Now I really can't comprehend why Bandai (who won the bid for Naruto's license) delayed the story for more than 70 episodes. At first I thought it was because the anime was too fast and may overtake the manga so they had to slow down. But then, the story has gone far enough so as to close in on the climax, and the anime is swarmed with horrible filler plots. How could the author allow this to happen?
Ahem. Anyway, am I theorizing too much? Or rather, just ranting. My conclusion is that, no matter how much they get back to the story and really superb animation, I don't think that they're going to get back all the fans that used to love Naruto. And that's what makes me sad.
